The Government has created a 13m fund to contribute towards the pensions of public servants while they volunteer with VSO or another British Volunteer Agencies’ Liaison Group (BVALG) member organisation (currently, International Service (UNAIS), Student Partnership Worldwide, Skillshare International, Progressio and VSO). The fund will buy added pension benefits (or equivalent) for any current public servant who returns to a pensionable UK public service job after an overseas volunteer assignment starting between April 2008 and March 2011 and lasting between seven and 24 months.
